a small corner of a vast thyssenkrupp factory in this industrial town, an engineer was talking to a machine.</p> <p>“From the beginning I was only speaking to it in English, but today I discovered it speaks German quite well,” said Marcus Schoenherr, one of the thyssenkrupp engineers using the Siemens Industrial Copilot to program and test this machine. The Industrial Copilot is a generative AI-powered assistant that was developed through a collaboration between Siemens and Microsoft. Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service powers the copilot’s capabilities.</p> </div> <div class="acf-innerblocks-container"> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/siemens-industrial-copilot-01.jpg.jpg" alt="A man with a ponytail in a dark blue polo shirt working on the exterior of a machine in a glass box." class="wp-image-10114 wpsmartcrop-image" srcset="" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" data-smartcrop-focus="[50,50]" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Marcus Schoenherr, a thyssenkrupp engineer, at work in the factory in Chemnitz, Germany.

And then suddenly the copilot answered in German.” Schoenherr then spent the rest of that session interacting with the machine using his native language.</p> <p>This project at <a href="https://www.thyssenkrupp.com/en/home">thyssenkrupp</a> is part of an effort to use the power of AI to compensate for a shortage of skilled workers in manufacturing in Germany, Europe and many other countries, including the United States.</p> <p>Schoenherr sits at a desk in front of the battery testing machine, enclosed in a glass box the size of a minibus, and the contraption pulses with red and green lights that illuminate the cells that flow by on a conveyor belt, while digital cameras and sensors measure and test each one. These cells will eventually comprise the power pack in an electric car or truck. If one cell is flawed, the entire power source will fail, costing the carmaker thousands of euros.</p> <p>Schoenherr has been working with the Siemens Industrial Copilot, powered by Azure OpenAI Service with GPT-4, since July. The application was developed during the past year and a half. In collaboration with <a href="https://www.siemens.com/global/en.html">Siemens</a>, thyssenkrupp has been working on adapting the copilot to the specific requirements of thyssenkrupp’s machinery. Siemens now has more than 100 other customers evaluating and testing the Industrial Copilot.</p> </div> <div class="acf-innerblocks-container"></div> </div> </section> <section mks-block class="no-transition mssrc-block-content-block" > <div class="mks-debug-guides"></div> <div class="relative w-full" style="background:#071822; color:#d0ecd0;"> <div id="block-67b060821bd89" class="max-w-1700px mx-auto w-full" style=" "> <div class=" | relative flex items-center justify-between relative px-94fxx __px-68fxx pt-1.5vr pb-1.5vr | | m:block m:px-6.26% _m:pb-5vr _m:pt-4vr | _max-h:100vh "> <div class="group w-45% m:w-full relative"> <div scroll-object class="__mb-30px mx-auto relative w-full before:content-[''] before:block before:pt-100%"> <div class="absolute top-0 left-0 w-full h-full overflow-hidden 0 " id="" > <img decoding="async" src="https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/Siemens_ThyssenKrupp_GIF1x1.gif" srcset="https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/Siemens_ThyssenKrupp_GIF1x1-128x120.gif 128w, https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/Siemens_ThyssenKrupp_GIF1x1-578x578.gif 578w, https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/Siemens_ThyssenKrupp_GIF1x1.gif 600w, https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/Siemens_ThyssenKrupp_GIF1x1-281x281.gif 281w, https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/Siemens_ThyssenKrupp_GIF1x1-200x200.gif 200w, https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/Siemens_ThyssenKrupp_GIF1x1-300x300.gif 300w" role="presentation" class="!rounded-0 absolute top-0 left-0 w-full h-full object-cover opacity-0 transform scale-[0.8] in-view:!scale-[1] in-view:!opacity-1 in-view:transition-all in-view:duration-[1.6s] in-view:delay-[0.8s] in-view:ease-out-slow" /> </div> </div> </div> <article class="__w-60% relative m:w-full"> <div scroll-object class="max-w-788fxx m:!max-w-full "> <h2 class="mb-1vr font-h4 w-full"> <split-text2></split-text2> </h2> <div class="font-t2 mb-1vr w-full mks-wysiwyg" role="paragraph"> <split-text2 delay="0.3" debug>The Siemens Industrial Copilot has two facets. Schoenherr has focused on using the engineering copilot, which helps him create the automation code that directs the machine’s operation. The second is the operations copilot. It allows workers and engineers to communicate with the machine while it is operating. If one step in the process is not working, the operator can ask the Siemens Industrial Copilot what is wrong by typing in a question. The copilot can then tell him how to solve the problem. Eventually the operator will be able to speak with the machine, using copilot’s voice recognition.<br /> <br /> Siemens sees the Industrial Copilot as something that can be rolled out in different versions to support workers throughout the industrial process, from design to planning, from engineering to operations and services; decisionmakers at thyssenkrupp also see it as a versatile application that they would like to apply broadly.</split-text2> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </section> <script type="text/javascript"> (()=>{ const $player = document.getElementById('player-67b060821bd89') function initIframe(e) { let $iframe = document.createElement('iframe') $iframe.style.position = 'absolute' $iframe.style.top = 0 $iframe.style.left = 0 $iframe.style.width = '100%' $iframe.style.height = '100%' $iframe.style.height = '100%' $iframe.setAttribute('frameborder',0) $iframe.setAttribute('tabindex', 0) $iframe.setAttribute('allow', 'autoplay;

These assembly lines are destined for vehicle manufacturers in Europe and Asia. While thyssenkrupp is planning to use the engineering copilot worldwide initially, it is still in the testing phase of the operational copilot. Pfeiffer says thyssenkrupp will also be introducing the operations copilot globally, depending on customer demand and other factors.</p> </div> <div class="acf-innerblocks-container"> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/siemens-industrial-copilot-08.jpg.jpg" alt="A young man in a blue T-shirt and wearing glasses, on the left, with an older man in a light blue polo shirt in a factory setting." class="wp-image-10186" style="width:1024px;height:auto" srcset="" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Paul Kempt, left, a thyssenkrupp programmer, with Marcel Pfeiffer, the company’s director of digital factory solutions, at the company’s factory in Chemnitz, Germany.

He cites a situation he was dealing with that day, where a camera captures data about each individual cell from an inscription on its side; the camera wasn’t always able to read the inscription.</p> <p>“You have a certain component, like the camera that is part of the machine, but it has its own program,” he says. “Someone gives you the program to use the camera, but you never used it before.” The camera’s programming contains the key to solving the problem, but breaking down the code can be a patience-testing task.</p> <p>“That’s the situation where you ask the copilot, ‘Please explain the source code to me. What can I do? What’s the input A for, what’s the input B for?’ And it explains, so that’s great. The copilot helps you put things together more simply.”</p> </div> <div class="acf-innerblocks-container"> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/siemens-industrial-copilot-03.jpg.jpg" alt="Seen through reflective glass, one man on the right touches a computer screen while another looks at the movements in the machine.

He said some of Siemens’ customers are finding uses for it that he and other engineers hadn’t envisioned.</p> <p>“One client took existing code, old code they were using, and they said, ‘OK, I don’t know what the code is doing, I don’t know the language.’ They pasted it into the copilot, and the copilot took it and translated into new code and explained what the code is doing,” Scepanski said. “And this was not something that we implemented as a feature, but it comes with the strong capabilities of the generative AI models Microsoft is offering.”</p> <p>Scepanski said Siemens envisions rolling out versions of Industrial Copilot in many different fields.</p> <p>“We will see copilots along the entire value chain for different industries, Scepanski said. As examples, he mentioned industries such as infrastructure, transportation, and healthcare. “They have exactly the same issue, lack of skilled labor.”</p> </div> <div class="acf-innerblocks-container"></div> </div> </section>  <section mks-block class=" mssrc-block-content-block" > <div class="mks-debug-guides"></div> <div id="block-67b060822a9b8" class="overflow-hidden | bg:inherit | c:#000 | py-2vr | m:py-50px " style=" background:inherit; color:#000; "> <div scroll-object class="max-w-1700px mx-auto w-full text-center pl-140fxx pr-112fxx m:px-6.25% "> <h2 class="relative inline-block font-h3 mb-1.5vr m:mb-0.5em"> <split-text2>A broader vision of generative AI</split-text2> </h2> <div role="paragraph" class="my-0 font-t1 w-788fxx mx-auto m:w-full m:w-full"> <split-text2 delat="0.5"></split-text2> </div> </div> </div> </section> <script> (()=>{ if (window.acf) { const $block = document.getElementById('block-67b060822a9b8'); if ($block.hasAttribute('data-bg-fade')) { $block.style.backgroundColor = $block.getAttribute('data-bg-fade'); if ($block.getAttribute('data-color-fade')) { $block.style.color = $block.getAttribute('data-color-fade'); } } } })(); </script>  <section mks-block class="mssrc-block-content-block" > <div class="mks-debug-guides"></div> <div class=" relative py-2vr m:pt-50px " style=" background:inherit; color:#000; "> <div _role="paragraph" class=" w-1152fxx mx-auto font-t1 m:w-full m:px-6.25% | mks-wysiwyg"> <p>Marcel Pfeiffer of thyssenkrupp says the collaboration with Siemens and Microsoft has been fruitful.</p> <p>“I think Siemens was looking for two main aspects, a real use case with a real customer behind it and someone who challenges the actual, let’s say, development state of the tool,” he said. “Together we can push the boundaries of the tool to improve it over time.”</p> <p>He said he envisions this project as the first step in a broader use of Industrial Copilot at thyssenkrupp and the beginning of a revolution in how manufacturing processes are conceived and executed.</p> </div> <div class="acf-innerblocks-container"> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://pub-5d14c04319664d73aa547fa84e4d8bd8.r2.dev/2024/10/siemens-industrial-copilot-14.jpg.jpg" alt="A row of shiny cylinders on a small conveyor belt in a complex machine that glows with red and blue lights." class="wp-image-10276" srcset="" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Thyssenkrupp engineers are using Siemens Industrial Copilot to write the automation code for this machine that tests battery cells for electric vehicles.
